About Us

The GT Innovators formed in 2011 from 3 educators who wanted to change the world of professional development for teachers. With over 50 years of combined experience in the classroom, we are dynamic, enthusiastic educators offering unique perspectives on education. Having worked in multiple roles on various campuses in the Houston area--as teachers, interventionists, department chairs, and even Title I coordinator--we have a wealth of research-based, time-proven knowledge to share with teachers. And we are still teachers! All three of us still work tirelessly with our own students full-time during the school year implementing and refining rigorous and relevant curriculum units, collaborating with other educators in both intra-departmental and interdisciplinary endeavors, and developing new ways to reach students through differentiation models and interpersonal communication strategies.

As experienced presenters at the district, state, and national level, we have a variety of full-day inservice models ranging from interdisciplinary skills such as Creativity, Differentiation, and Social/Emotional Needs to content-specific instructional inservices for the English/Language Arts curriculum. We are also willing to customize sessions as desired. Regardless of the session, you are guaranteed expert, enthusiastic presenters with practical, innovative, student-centered strategies ready for teachers to take home and use in the classroom immediately.

Whatever your district or school's professional development needs, we have the experience and passion to meet them, so email us now and book your session today. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
